That is the plus side of all this, throughout history. Extremism just cannot last. It doesn't have the energy, or the momentum. Eventually that pendulum is always going to fall back to the center, doesn't matter which way it gets rocked or how often. Things get bad and shitty, all you have to do is wait it out, especially with ideologies like SJWism- Dynastia was totally right on most of their views not being extreme necessarily, just their way of trying to bring equality out is markedly and disgustingly Marxist in nature, which is kind of beautiful because Marxism in nature never fucking works. With maybe North Korea being an exception, as it is with most rules, being at apparently just the right size in which to shit and piss all over the people without having them revolt.
Neogaf was just too big a community to survive with that kind of mindset, and I couldn't have dreamed for a better way for that whole cesspool to go bottoms up.
"North Korea being an exception"
So what brand of crack are you using? The Norks execute three generations of your family for wrong think and execute most offenders by artillery shell so their shitty, half dead military men get some vague practise in for the glorious war and revolution which is totally going to happen soon guys.
The fact these dumbasses have been at this shit for
three years which is an aeon in net terms shows you that dumb morons unable to clearly think for themselves are quite willing to keep going on something long after the majority stopped caring. They're extremists in the sense they can no longer function in the wider gaming community and are generally shunned.
GamerGate is long over, and I say that as someone who was balls deep in that shit, it's just you paranoid lunatics who keep throwing it's rotting corpse over yourself and accusing it of rape.
And I'm just sitting here laughing at your stupidity, like everyone else.
They're the same type of asshole who's keeping racism alive by blaming whitey for everything instead of sitting down to fix shit 50 years on from the law equalizing everyone. Buying games that support their batshit insane ideology would be a good start, but then they'd have to spend money they magically claim to never have because they're the useless, angry dregs of society finding new reasons to blame a third party of their misfortune than actually sorting shit out.
Take a good look at that fucking mouse sometime:
Everyone is suspect. Heresy is everywhere.
Now in this case, there really
is danger in the woods, since us, and pretty much every community worth a damn is watching this with bated breath and cameras readied. We will drink the Autism as they drown in it.
Of
course Heresy is everywhere when you run off actively looking for it. In a world of billions, hell in just the USA you can
always find some dipshit in some podunk corner nobody gives a fuck about doing something which could "trigger" you.
Look at all the weirdos and eccentrics we've found here. It's the same for us, if we look for weirdness you will find it. If you look for heretical behaviour you will find it. There's never any kind of ideologial purity that, in the minds of these people, would ever sate them.
I actually wonder how miserable an existence that must be for them. Like eating first class food every day only for it to turn instantly to ash the second it touches your tongue.
I hope they start shittalking Neogaf right away on launch.
They won't shittalk the site, they will the owner constantly though. He's now in the same box as the other shit they bang on about non-stop when they find something they
slightly disagree with. Never mind the pedo-defenders and actual pedo moderators. Noooo, just the owner for drunkenly getting into a shower with some chick half covered in vomit.
What we should do however, is start the clock on how long it will be before one of their mods or admins is busted for something hideous and illegal that they'll all fall over each other trying to explain away.
ResetEra will never grow because they can never open registration or they will be swamped by trolls. No matter how much people talk about ResetEra, their method of "verification" is unreasonable, and has nothing to do with video games.
The best I can tell, verification involves having a history on NeoGAF, and it being reviewed for wrong-think. There have been no considerations for any new members beyond being directly vouched for by another trusted member.
They're not interested in new members and seem to be adopting a Masconic style application process. Ordinarily this would pass over in about a month or so and they'd open up to new members without any significant verifications if they were sane and just trying to avoid the general raiding which is bound to happen.
Because they're all paranoid nutjobs who think GG is still an active organized force on manoeuvres they likely never will open up registration. There will be no site growth and the ban-happy mods will soon whittle it down to a likely nub of their own huge moderation team.
I mean, we have 20 staff on a membership of about 2,000 or so. REE seems to be opening with 30 staff and nobugger else. The politburo has to be firmly in place before the proletariat can come near the glorious new state.
Don't be surprised if we read in a few months time panicked mods wondering why nobody's signing up.
Question: if a guy legit speaks and writes like this, then he's right because he's proud of his heritage. But if I went around as an oppressive white man speaking like that, and not even talking like crazy stereotypes such OH SHIT MUH NIGGA or anything, but pretty much like that dude wrote right there, I'd be called out for mocking him and I would be labeled as a racist. What I don't get is the outrage over this. You could label me as an asshole, or that I was disrespectful, but the amount of sheer anger over something like that is astonishing.
And my completely uneducated theory is that he isn't actually proud of his heritage. Who could blame him, his heritage sucks. Therefore there is this high level of insecurity, like going to a date with your armpits crazy sweated and you're tripping balls over the possibility of she noticing it. If the chick calls you out on it, there's a good chance you will overreact.
That guy seems legit from his writing pattern, or he's hung out with a fair few Nigerians here in Bongland. I've known a lot of British-Nigerians over the years and they're generally awesome people.
Also hilariously more racist than many skinheads the
split-second they get their british passport. They become insta-brits with the fanatical devotion to queen and country you usually see reserved for 18th century novels about the Napoleonic War. Possibly because they feel they suddenly are part of british culture (which they certainly are) if we're going by him feeling a bit naff about his heritage.
Lots of them backed Brexit as well, interestingly enough.
"recommend that if you need sleep to sleep right now..."
Holy shit. That is some ridiculous stuff. You know what, forget just being out there with the rest of the internet and seeing if that gives those folks a wake up call on how tight their hugbox was. If the fact that you have to treat getting on a Fucking Forum like you're camping out to get the newest electronic toy, staying up and huddled in a tent for just the chance that you'll be allowed in, AND you have to have a letter of recommendation and the know the secret password just to get at the door... How is that not ringing any warning bells? Does that not strike them as fucking odd? Mayhaps even irrational? I know they don't cross paths with Logic very often, but fuck me.
Does anyone even have to actually troll them at this point? I think just everyone sitting back and laughing was more than enough to keep them paranoid for ages. Don't even have to do anything more than put out a tweet that you're thinking about maybe having a peek, or that you're looking forward to seeing the continuation of this dumpster fire, and they'll immediately start turning on each other. Their lives must be utterly exhausting when every shadow is a looming ghost of a threat.
The short answer is no, they're doing it all to themselves and when they eventually scream WHY? into their empty echo chamber nobody will be about to give two shits. In fact when and if it manages to pull a NeoGAF style stunt most people will go "Those guys are still
around?"
I mean, their responce to this whole situation is to make the hugbox
even tighter rather than realise that by doing so it made them so intolerant of things that their entire haven collapsed from a drunken misunderstanding.
